Login Help - El Forum - 10-27-2010

Hi,
I am developing a site using CodeIgniter and currently working on the login system... What is the best way to make a secure login system to work around my database structure that will also allow the use of a "remeber me" function.
I have done a login system using sessions already and it works fine but i cant get a "remember me" function to work with it.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your recommendation but ive already done all my login, register, activate and forgot password systems. The only thing i have not done correct is the login system. Not sure if i should go with cookies and how best to go about it... A remember me function is a MUST.
Steve

If you don't want to toss your authentication code away for Ion Auth, you might want to consider using a cookie to store the user's identification. I suggest a separate GUID in the database for each user record. Or you can encrypt the identification in the cookie. When the session times out, the login page would only require a password login (You'd want a way to completely log out too.)
